Interesting focus. Seems to be on the sweater. Not focusing in on the face, is a good idea. When little kids draw, they move their head at the same time and you were able to capture this with the motion of the drawing hand. Great composition.

the look of concentration on his face is terrific. not a typical "back to school" image but still one of my favorites this challenge.

My favourite shot this challenge. Great use of motion blur. Nice range of tones, looks great in b&w. I like his expression. Effective cropping and composition. I would have prefered a shutter speed just a tad faster though, so the face would be sharper while leaving the hand blurred. 8

A very cute portrait! I like the use of BW here, and the composition is excellent. I like your low view point... Many people just shoot from their own height, which takes away from a child portrait, IMO. You did a great jog of getting at his level, and the portrait reflects 'his world' rather than him from an adult's perspective. A subtle change in technique that drastically changes the quality of a child's portrait! I don't know how difficult it would be to do in this setting, but a little more light on his eyes would give this some WOW factor. I love the look of concentration on his face, and I like the motion blur of his hand. As a result of getting the hand motion, you also got a little blur in his hair... very difficult to control, especially with small children as your subject (I have three boys 1, 3, and 5 years old). Nice shot and good luck in the challenge!

I love the blurry hand in the front, and the child's expression! The picture would be a bit better IMO if the focus were on the child's eyes. ~7

Good picture. I love the way he's holding the pencil, and holding the paper so carefully with the other hand. Such intense concentration on his face. Very good all around

cool shot. good capture on the hand motion and the facial expression.

This is precious. I would have prefered it without the blurred hand but its still a good shot.

His expression seems so focused on what he's doing. Great shot!
